A DC grand jury declined to indict the DOJ lawyer charged for throwing a Subway sandwich at a federal agent in DC.
A man in a salmon-colored t-shirt was caught on video throwing a sandwich at a federal officer in DC earlier this week after President Trump deployed the National Guard to patrol the streets.
The sandwich thrower was identified as 37-year-old Sean Charles Dunn, a DOJ trial attorney.
A DC grand jury refused to indict Dunn.
CNBC reported:
Federal prosecutors failed to obtain a grand jury indictment against a former Department of Justice employee who allegedly hurled a Subway sandwich at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer who President Donald Trump had deployed in Washington, D.C.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in D.C. has sought to charge the man, Sean Charles Dunn, with felony assault of an officer for the Aug. 10 sub-chucking incident, which was caught on video. The DOJ fired Dunn after his arrest.
NBC News reported Wednesday that two people familiar with the matter said that a grand jury failed to indict Dunn in the case, which was heavily touted by Trump administration law-enforcement officials.
It is not clear if prosecutors will try again to obtain an indictment of Dunn or lodge another charging instrument against him, known as an “information.”
“If you touch any law enforcement officer, we will come after you. I just learned that this defendant worked at the Department of Justice — NO LONGER. Not only is he FIRED, he has been charged with a felony. This is an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months as we work to refocus DOJ. You will NOT work in this administration while disrespecting our government and law enforcement,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said.
Harmeet Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, also said the man arrested for throwing the sandwich at agents was a DOJ contractor and has been immediately fired.
“The man in the salmon colored shirt with the effete gesture there of throwing a Subway sandwich is, was a DOJ contractor. He is no longer,” Harmeet Dhillon said on the Benny Johnson show.

Ok....I guess you can’t indict a Subway sandwich.
This works both ways. Passersby can now hurl sandwiches at this man every time he walks down the street.
Judge Jennine is not going to be happy about this
Washington DC aka Washington Dumb Citizens
I really don’t care if they prosecute him or not. He is not longer employed at DOJ.
Now he can spend his days prancing around Dupont Circle with the other flamers.
Nope… DC jurors are 95 % democrat. No conviction is ever going to happen, no matter how they make the charge. Now a J6er who stayed in the velvet ropes? They get a felony indictment from the grand jury for trying to overthrow the US government.
It is all how the prosecutor puts forth the case.
Walking around DC on jan 6....guantanimo. Assaulting a federal cop...return to your law practice.
And they did, and for less.
They overcharged because they wanted to lose the case and be able to blame the grand jury.
It’s a twofer for Deep State.
It’s DC. Yhe juies are as politically biased as the judges. The guy would not be indicted even if he shot the ICE agent.
To me the point of the whole thing was to put the clown through the wringer knowing he’d not be indicted. He’ll think twice about throwing food again, and maybe his buddies will too.
FAFO
And there’s your problem... If DC courts won’t then federal courts should take the case elsewhere.
Prosecutor should have spoken more slowly, made exaggerated lip movements, and used short words when speaking to the Grand Jury.
I've an idea... let's burn DC to the ground and reboot the REPUBLIC in Nebraska.
“They need to find a new grand jury. DC is corrupt.”
.
Too bad.
I thought the (former) prosecutor was trying to demonstrate that a Grand Jury which—”could indict a ham sandwich”—couldnt do it in the District of Corruption.
Can he now sue DoJ for millions?
But the worst thing of all is..........a Subway Sandwich. Which, IMHO, requires a loud Barf Alert before you HURL it.
Misdemeanor assault would probably rate zero jail time, or maybe a week at most.
But yes, it was silly overcharging.
You think he will get the Contractor’s position back at DOJ? I dont think so, the Merit Protection Board doesn’t cover them at all.
But that doesn’t stop the Dems from just hiring him somewhere else, they are good at that.
Not surprised. I wouldn’t have voted to indict. He got fired from his DOJ job. That’s punishment enough.
